A lot of higher-density residential areas are actually more enjoyable to live in if you’re a people person and like walking to places. Areas of apartment blocks tend to be placed closer to shopping and bars and restaurants.
Meanwhile, a lot of the newer, cleaner “master planned” communities are just sterile oceans of identical rooftops miles and miles from anything but schools and fire departments, forcing all residents to drive if they want to so much as pick up a carton of milk.
Why do I feel like living in an apartment would be better in that case (if u can’t find an older house)
